I live on the UES too and there's a free outdoor pool at John Jay Park on the East River at the end of E 77th St. It's open 11am - 3pm, then 4pm - 7pm. I recommend having your swimmers under your clothes before you get there because the changing room is just one large room. They tell you off if you try to get changed in the toilets. Also you need to bring your own padlock for the lockers in the changing room. It's also a good idea to bring flip flops as they make you shower before you enter the pool. The other good thing to know is the girls changing room is up the stairs when you first enter and the boys is downstairs (there's no signs). You have to go through the changing rooms to get to the pool.
